An Established Institution.

In August, 1873, the late A. G. Broard
opened Il general merchandise business ia
the large two-story brick building at the
corner of Grand and Desiard sree,s. He
had associated with him his three sons, u.
A., II. NJ. and j. NJ. Breard, who had prac
teal control of the business. All being
well trained business men it is unnecessary
to say that the enterprise succeeded, A
large trade was built up and the "old Re-
tuition of Monroe. After the death of the
father his large estate WAS partitioned be-
tween The three sons and the store and bns-
mess fell to the lot of J. NJ. lHrearl. who
continued it, meeting with well-earned
success. He is still to be found at the "Old
Reliable Corner and as he says i'll his adj
vertisement, which appears elsewhere, he
sells goods cheap and gives honest weight
and fair measure.

fat turkeys for sale, asked the Captain if he
didn't wish to buy about six Of them. TO
which he replied ''Turkeys, HI! Gle

Tho New York Sun thus refers to Con.
Kings management of the Monroe public
building bill
The interests of the town of Monroe were
looked after on Wednesday night i'll the
House by Mr.. King with success that
less fortunate Congressman must have
cnvied. The great anxiety just then was
to know whether by strictly setting aside
all but great measures of national ncces-
ssity an extra session could be avoided. Mr..
Kings vigilance seized upon an instant of
leisure between two reports of conference
committees Mr.. Belmont's on the Diplo-
matte and Consular Appropriation bill and
Mr.. Randall's on the Sundry Civil, and
catching the Speakers eye, he moved to
suspend the rules and pass the bill grant
ing 5000 to erect a public building in the
town of Monroe, Whether in tribute to
the audacity of this dash between two great
appropriation bills, of from whatever roa-
pended it's rules and passed that bill. a
dozen members were at once on their feet
with their little bills but il was too late.
and the honors were ali for the first skiiful
raider. Monroe is a town of Louisiana
which, according to the official census
reports. had 2,070 inhabitants in the year
1850, having made and increase from ,o3",
its population ten years before.

WOMAN SUFFRAGE.

Mrs. Ada c. Bittenbenderis the candi-
date of the Nebraska Prohibitionists for
District Judge in the Second district Of
that State. If anything of the character
istic chivalry Of the frontier still survives
In Nebraska, the fitness of this lady for a
judicial Office will not be called in ques-
ton during the campaign. 1t will be
readily admitted by both Republicans and
Democrats, and the issues of the canvass
will turn on principles, not women.-N.
y. Sun.
We called attention six months ago to
the very thought that the Sun advances
now, viz: That the Prohibitionists will
move to enlist the women in a crusade
against the arch enemy of the home and
freside.
There are thousands Of women who
would not want 10 vote on any political
questions and who do not believe in
female suffrage, but who would go for
woman's suffrage to organize a great
movement against liquor.
As a political power the likelihood of
such a thing is of little interest compared
with the social revolution hat it would
cause.
Nature seems to have written a law on
the subject of the relative power Of man
anti omar in public and private affairs.
If there is to be a new Interpretation of
that law and an application OF a different
relation, there will certainly be grave
trouble.
The Prohibitonists are carrying the
responsibility Of the coming trouble, for
they are the only ones that can induce a
general rule of female suffrage.

KNOw-NOTHING

The Know. Nothing party at present
~appcars TO be a speculation on the
mar, of the men who have tried the
Communism and the Henry George theory
and see that they must get something
new or be retired. There is one very
consoling thing about the so~cial-political
disturbances of the day, and that is the
shallowness of the leaders Of sensations.
There is not a philosophical thought or a
practical idea in all the discussions on
the side Of the labor movement, ana this
is because men Of brains who are friends
of the laboring men cannot contend Win
the men who use passion and not sense,
and selfish ambition instead of patriotism.
This is the reason why the cause OF labor
Is worsted all the time.
The men who are put forward to cham
pion Il gre selfish, ignorant d~emagognes
in pursuit of office, and the beniicisries
Of assessments.
The Iaboring men ought to recognize the
claim Of labor in It's general and broad
sense, and not follow those who organize
manual labor TO claim the pre-empted
rights and privileges of all labor.
In doing that the short-sighted leaders
Of the Knights of Labor assert that ali
manual labor must take the same chance
without a distinction in favor of superior
skill and industry.
This is the principle Of organization on
which it is proposed TO make capital sub
servient to labor. Well, Of course it can
not act. because the labor Of another
class that uses capital by the co-ordina-
ton Of interest, capital, and labor will
not stand a mere arbitrary assertion Of
power that has no reason.
The rapidly disintegrating influences
in the Knights of Labor are all the ac-
tive growth of that failure to recognize
logical laws. A free government is the
result Of mans long struggle for his
rights, and when you try to abrogate the
results and deny men the PRIVILEGES, OF
course you are wrong, and Of course the
organizations that are trying this will be
beaten.

Ex-Statesman Brady is quoted as say
ing that the Republican fight in Virginia
is not for the Republican party or its
principles, but for Malone. That is true
now and has been true all the time.
Mr.. Brady and the rest of the deputy
prevaricators never represented any party
or principles. They were the minions Of
Malone, and as soon as they are fools
enough to quarrel with their master that
minute their political existence ceases.
A good many clever men have been
stranded by Malone very carly because
they did not recognize the fact Of their
slavery and its obligations. Another set
have survived the Malone adventure by
selling out their master to the Democrats
and they will be worse stranded than the
others as soon as their former master
shows that he is better than those who
left him to teach the Democrats the ways
of piracy.
